What happens when a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday?

If a holiday falls on a Saturday, then you will receive legal holiday time to use at another time (floating holiday), much like vacation. It will show up on your earning statement as part of the balance throughout the year. These hours must be used by December 31st of the current year or they will be lost.

If a holiday lands on a Sunday, then it will be observed on the following Monday. The University would be closed on that Monday.

When to use your leave by:

Vacation Carryover (VC): use by December 31 of the current year or it will be lost.
